    Obesity significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality, particularly through its impact on kidney function.

  • 2

    Bariatric surgery, such as biliopancreatic diversion, effectively reduces obesity and improves kidney health, potentially reversing early renal damage.

  • 3

    Accurate assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is crucial for evaluating surgical risk and long-term outcomes in bariatric surgery patients.

  • 4

    Standard GFR estimation equations may not be appropriate for severely obese patients due to significant changes in body surface area after weight loss.

  • 5

    The study found that non-indexed eGFR using the CKD-EPI formula is the most appropriate method for assessing kidney function post-bariatric surgery.
